Acacia obtriangularis, also commonly knowns as Lawley River wattle,[1] is a shrub of the genus Acacia and the subgenus Plurinerves that is endemic to a small area of north western Australia.

Description

The shrub typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and has an erect habit. The branchlets are covered with fine short hairs and have slender stipules that curve upward from the base and are Шаблон:Cvt in length. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The pungent and evergreen phyllodes have an inequilaterally obtriangular with a length of Шаблон:Cvt and a width of Шаблон:Cvt with six to eight often indistinct longitudinal nerves. It blooms around March or April producing yellow flowers.[1]

Taxonomy

The species was first formally described by the botanists Bruce Maslin, Matthew David Barrett and Russell Lindsay Barrett in 2013 as a part of the work A baker's dozen of new wattles highlights significant Acacia (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae) diversity and endemism in the north-west Kimberley region of Western Australia as published in the journal Nuytsia.[2] It is a part of the larger Acacia deltoidea group but is easily distinguished from other members by virtue of its spicate inflorescences and is most closely related to Acacia froggattii and Acacia vincentii.[1]

Distribution

It is native to a small area in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.[3] It is found as part of a single population that covers an area of several square kilometres near the mouth of the Lawley River where it is found growing in sandy soils over sheets of sandstone.[1]
